Idaho Animals
We are two days into our vacation without an intinerary. The wildlife is abundant. We spotted the mountain blue birds at Gilmore, an abandoned mining town south of Salmon, Idaho. The mountain goats were on the cliffs along the Salmon River inside the Frank Church Wilderness of No Return. This is where we also found the petroglyphs.
I once convinced a friend that here in Idaho in the spirit of Napoleon Dynamite we use llamas as pack animals to carry our gear, ride them like horses and when we tire of them we serve up llama steaks. None of that is true (at least I don't think it is), but there are a surprising number of domesticated llamas in the state, including the two that a woman was walking through the streets of Salmon.

Our only mishap was the small boulder that tumbled down a cliff nearly missing our Odyssey.
